You might have seen one out in Minnesota 
Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota 
But they were made back in Worcester Mass 
Of aluminum, bakelite and glass 

Like a [bad word] they were streamlined 
And the blue prints were drawn up from a dream of mine 
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train 
Out to Michigan up to Maine 

You may find a diner down in Georgia or 
Carolina off the twenty by the piggly wiggly 
In the country out of Waynesboro 

Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State 
You hang a louie off the [bad word] way 
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger 
At the little gem diner off six-niner 

Diner my shiny, shiny love 
In the night you're all I'm thinking of 
Diner my shiny, shiny love 

The [bad word] pulls in where the trooper's always stop 
As we dine over the chrome and formica table top 

The cashier she always squints 
By the gum and the bowl of mints 
She's tapping her toe 
To the Dean Martin on the consolette 
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so 

Side of fries, a dollar 
Or the haddock plate, two ninety five 
rootbeer float a pepsi 
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie 
Better make it a-la-mode 
 [bad word] 

Dean Martin god rest his soul 
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl 
There's a couple from the show me state 
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate 

Diner my shiny, shiny love
Diner my shiny, shiny love
Diner my shiny, shiny, shiny love

Chicken and biscuits
With a side of gravy
Peach cobbler
